Completely new to power automate. How do I keep two copies of a file synced in sharepoint?

Posted on by TCFPA

I have a folder with various excel files. I would like to make a process where for example should I create a file called Budget V1 in a master folder it will copy it to a file called Budget copies. Not only that should I go into Budget V1 and make changes it will also update the version in the copy folder. This is because my manager has a habit of breaking my excel files but also wants to be able to modify them and play around with the numbers.

How do I even go about this? I poked around in power automate and I know it can automate tasks in sharepoint

Just wondering about the following scenario.
You add a new Excel file, and it gets copied.
Your boss updates some of the values in the copied file.
You update your master Excel file, and it automatically updates the copied file overwriting your bosses changes they had made.
I'd make sure your boss is downloading the copied file and working on it locally to avoid that situation 🙂
